A few quick thoughts
Not much time... I'm almost late for class.
First, I agree with Roa that Jenny's fervor in pursuing Diamond certainly doesn't rule Diamond out as a suspect. Neither does Nogrod's declaration that he dreamt of an innocent Sleepy make Nogrod innocent. And neither does Jenny's mention of Roa make her innocent, as Diamond seems to think. I'll be keeping a close eye on those three (Diamond, Nogrod, and Roa).
However, I do believe that Sleepy is innocent. If an orcish Nogrod had lied about an orcish Sleepy, in a few days time we'd all be wondering why Sleepy wasn't dead yet. And once we knew one of them was an orc, we'd have a nice little trail to follow to the other. I don't think Nogrod would be so foolish.
This is all I have time to write for now, but I'll be back a few hours before the Day ends; good luck, fellow villagers, in sorting out this mess while I'm gone.
